Recently retired from teacing at Woodland Junior School. He has lived in Upper Cwmbran since 1990. He owns and occasionally breeds Cardigan corgis which he likes to walk in the forest. He coaches Cwmbran District under 11 rugby and is a WRU qualified referee. First became interested in the forest when a tree fell on him in 1992. Weird sense of humour.
